Hey, ive recently did a factory reset on my workstation and i've started to have some issues with gimp that i honestly cant track the source of.

The issue currently, mouse is behaving extremely odd, clicks don't always register, drop down menus instantly close after i open them, pointer always thinks it's using the Move tool and i have to click a bunch to switch from it, often having to alt tab or drag the window to use that window's contents.


here's what i've tried and other details.

1. tried both latest releases of stable and dev.
   
2. mouse: logitech g502, drivers up to date.
   
3. no gimp plugins other than Gmic, but problem persists with and on 100% fresh stock gimp.
   
4. windows, gpu, mobo drivers are all up to date.
   
5. the issue ONLY happens in gimp, pc working 100% fine otherwise.
   
6. this wasn't an issue prior to the factory reset, both versions of windows, driver, and gimp are the exact same unless they updated in the few hours i did factory reset which is unlikely.
   
7. not a keyboard stuck using shortcuts issue.
   
8. all settings are on default, like i said fresh install.
   
9. only thing i havent tried is rolling back to an older version of gimp. but would be odd since it's the same exact setup was working prior to fresh install.
   
   

I made a channel and then applied that channel as a layer mask to many layers. Is there a way to make changes to all of those masks at once, or do I have to change the channel and then set the updated channel to the layer mask in all of them all over again?

Thanks.

Is it possible for someone to help recreate the coloring of 2 gifs for just a couple of single images?

I've downloaded the script arrow.scm and can use it OK. But the arrow is black and I'd like it to be permanently red. I've found nothing in the script parameters window that allows me to change the arrow's color. How do I change the arrow color permanently? I'm on a 2017 iMac and new to Mac, having recently changed from Windows 10 to Mac. Thanks.

Hello there!


I am painting with pencile on paper and want to scan these pictures and then paint over it in black, so that you can't see in the end the pencile bt rather just the black paint from GIMP.

Here you can see my picture I painted with pencile on a piece of paper:


And here I tried to paint over it with GIMP but you can still see the lines I painted with my pencile:


Is there a way to let the pencile paint disappear?


Hope for you help and thanks a lot in advance! 

When I draw some shape, how to make halo effect/look like this  :

Hi,

I am at a loss. I have built a book cover with GIMP. When I export to PDF then open the PDF, there is a thick white stripe across the image. There is nothing like that in the original xcf file. This happens both in Linux Mint and in Windows 10. What is happening and how can I correct it, please?

(I have attempted to attach the files here for viewing but I am told the file sizes are too large. The same even with a screenshot.)

Many thanks for any help.

I cannot change font size or font or bold...

Everything seems alright. I get the rectangular box that turns into a box with a box at each corner.. I write some text... I have the text layer selected..

But I can't do anything with the text.

It all should happen immediately, right? Chang font size it should change right there on already written text? Change font, written text should change?

None of that happens. In fact I can't change the font for a new line of text.

I in fact don't get a drop down list of fonts to choose from. Maybe the problem is there somewhere: it has no fonts?

What can I do?
